Ecological and geochemical characteristics of the snow cover in the Yakutsk city (Central Siberia)
For the first time, the geochemistry of snow cover on the territory of the city of Yakutsk, the largest city located in the permafrost zone, is considered on the basis of recent methods of analysis. To study the chemical composition of the snow cover and

Measurement of Excess Pore-Water Pressure in Frozen Soil at Subfreezing Temperatures Close to 0°C
Response of pore-water pressure has crucial effect on the engineering geological performance of permafrost ground. However, there is a dearth of literature on the measurement of pore-water pressure in frozen soils due to challenges with regard to ...

Relationships between greenhouse gas production and landscape position during short-term permafrost thaw under anaerobic conditions in the Lena Delta [PDF]
Soils in the permafrost region have acted as carbon sinks for thousands of years. As a result of global warming, permafrost soils are thawing and will potentially release greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Monitoring the Permafrost Conditions along Pipeline Routes in Central Yakutia, Russia
Pipelines are critical infrastructure for Yakutia, transporting vital supplies to communities in this vast northern region. The pipeline routes in central Yakutia traverse areas of ice-rich permafrost that is sensitive to temperature changes.

Rock glaciers in the Ulakhan-Chistay ridge (axial part of the Chersky mountain range)
The Ulakhan-Chistay Ridge is interesting by the fact that one of the most extensive mountain glaciations in northeast Russia is located here. In addition, there are widespread specific glacial-cryogenic formations – stone glaciers related to glacial and

Permafrost temperature and active-layer thickness of Yakutia with 0.5-degree spatial resolution for model evaluation [PDF]
Based on the map of landscapes and permafrost conditions in Yakutia (Merzlotno-landshaftnaya karta Yakutskoi0 ASSR, Gosgeodeziya SSSR, 1991), rasterized maps of permafrost temperature and active-layer thickness of Yakutia, East Siberia were derived.

Mapping Mountain Permafrost Landscapes in Siberia Using Landsat Thermal Imagery
Intensive development of South Yakutia, a mountainous area in the Russian sporadic permafrost zone, must be founded on knowledge about regional permafrost conditions. New permafrost maps for mountainous areas in South Yakutia (the Elkon Mountains and the
